SO HOW'D IT GO?
animalluver54375, i have not tried pastry flour but you can definitely substitute and add whole hweat pastry flour for a more nutritional brownie. also they do not have an applesauce aftertaste. the chocolate from the cocoa and sugar are more overpowering and the end result is fudgy!
i haven't tried them but i was wondering if they taste like applesauce at all cause i made desserts with applesauce and it taste like apples
These are some super yummy brownies and the first vegan ones I've made. I used vanilla soy milk instead of water for extra flavor. I can't stay away from them!
i was wondering can you use pastry flour in this recipe?
you are so welcome! im so glad you enjoyed them! i love making them when i a need a quick chocolate craving fix (and no remorse if i eat the whole pan in one day) ;)
but definitely try chilling them overnight. the consistency becomes more "fudgy" which i love.
since I needed motivation to go to the gym, I did what any logical lady of science would do and made brownies! I halved the recipe and poured the batter into a greased muffin pan to make "brownie bites". I thought these could have been sweeter but I used unsweetened applesauce so that might have been the reason. These were good, esp. for a fat free recipe although I added vegan dark chocolate chips to the batter for a nutritional boost ;) The inside consistency was kind of ... 'applesaucy' I guess. They still tasted really good,and are even better the next day as they are not so applesaucy in texture...I had 2 this morning for a power breakfast ...thanks brooke for the recipe, you ARE the best ;)b
